It's been like that for a while now.

[BlackHavenSenator]

I'm shocked we no longer have 2K kids

[MidTennFootball]

In their defense, with the amount of kids Whitehaven sends to college, I would be one of those that would make that assumption

Like in basketball, most of the offers are obtained in the summer. Goin to camps and putting on a good showing and getting coaches attention and with good PR from your coach!! Some kids dont really play that much to have film. So if those kids ain't getting offers that's on they coach and them not getting out in these camps getting attention...with our coach, if the kids want to go to school he can and will get them somewhere if they do they part by working in the classroom and on the field

Nice work...
